About Me

In my search for a consistent philosophy of life I have been continuously inspired and guided by nature. I have always believed that nature provides the way to enlightenment, to freedom from that which encumbers us, to a deeper understanding of the human condition, and to a fuller capacity for creativity. As a child growing up I “went to the woods” to find solace and discovered both beauty and wonder. It has provided me with peace in the midst of turmoil, companionship in seasons of solitude, and understanding when faced with some riddle or paradox. Nature is unforgiving yet it strives against self-inflicted devastation's. I ponder over who we have become and our relationship within the natural world and it's mysteries. Our identities as humans is a forced or formed displacement from the natural world. I am exploring these thoughts through photography as well as working through mediums which often include organic materials integrated within mixed media pieces.
I am trying in my work to have the viewer be the experiencer. I do not want to be there...it is not even a walk we take together.
